>> Isn't ODBC a Windows thing?

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 
Open_Database_Connectivity#Implementations>

> The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent of programming  
> languages, database systems, and operating systems

> ODBC implementations run on many operating systems, including  
> Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux, OS/2, OS400, IBM i5/OS, and Mac OS  
> X. Hundreds of ODBC drivers exist, including drivers for Oracle,  
> DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Pervasive SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL,  
> and desktop database products such as FileMaker, and Microsoft Access

Erlang ships with an ODBC implementation 
<http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/index.html 
 >

<http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/odbc/getting_started.html>: The Erlang  
ODBC application should run on all Unix dialects including Linux,  
Windows 2000, Windows XP and NT. But currently it is only tested for  
Solaris, Windows 2000, Windows XP and NT

I'm not advocating ODBC specifically (although I am advocating using  
an existing hammer for this nail), I just wanted to point that out for  
the curious.
